THREAD: Time to consider Arsenal?

Arsenal are a team that have turned it around recently after a poor start this season. Despite their change in fortunes in recent weeks under Mikel Arteta, their #FPL assets have largely gone under the radar.

Here are some players from the Gunners that I am looking at for the next few weeks.

Bernd Leno (£5.0 million)

The German keeper has been having a great season at the Emirates, keeping 8 clean sheets so far this season, which is already his best since moving to the Premier League. He also has the form, with 5 of these clean sheets coming in the past 6 games.

He is currently at the top of the form rankings for a goalkeeper in the entire game, and his place in the Arsenal team is the most secure in the whole team.

Arsenal's next 3 games do not exceed a 3 on the Fixture Difficulty Rating, meaning that there is an opportunity for further clean sheets and points. If you are looking for a reliable goalkeeper that doesn't cost that much, you could do worse than Leno.

Rob Holding (£4.5 million)

Another reason for Arsenal's defensive improvement has been Rob Holding. The 25 year old has featured in 18 of Arsenal's 21 Premier League games this season. This shows that Arteta trusts him at the heart of defence.

In the 3 games that Holding has not featured, Arsenal also failed to keep a clean sheet. At only £4.5 million, he offers you a route into Arsenal's defence, without needing to use more of your budget on the likes of Tierney and Bellerin.

With only 5% ownership in the entire game, Holding provides a different option to other budget defenders, one that has a very good chance of getting more clean sheets. His low price also gives you the chance to invest more money in other areas of your team.

Bukayo Saka (£5.4 million)

Another Arsenal asset with a low price is Saka. The versatile winger has scored 52 points in the last 6 games that he has fixtures, an average of over 8 points per game. Only Ilkay Gundogan is higher in the form charts for a midfielder in FPL.

Saka has already scored 5 goals and got 3 assists this season, and with the arrival of Martin Odegaard and the return of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, there is every chance that the young Englishman could add to this tally.

His recent injury that kept him out of the Manchester United game has been confirmed not to be too serious, and for FPL owners looking to lose Gundogan in the next few weeks with the turn in City's fixtures, Saka could be a great replacement.

Alexandre Lacazette (£8.3 million)

The Frenchman has had a turn in fortunes in recent weeks, going from struggling to get a look in at Arsenal to being one of the first names on the team sheet. Lacazette has repaid Arteta's faith in him by scoring 5 goals in his last 7 games.

Lacazette has repaid Arteta's faith in him by scoring 5 goals in his last 7 games, including 2 double-digit hauls. This has made the French striker Arsenal's top goalscorer in the Premier League with 8 goals this term.

With the expected return of Aubameyang, and the emergence of Emile Smith-Rowe, I expect Lacazette to build on his goal tally in the next few weeks.

With Harry Kane injured and Dominic Calvert-Lewin out of form, Lacazette could be a great alternative and with only 7.5% ownership, he could be a great way to boost your Overall Rank and make ground in your mini-leagues.

So here are my thoughts on the best Arsenal assets for FPL for the upcoming weeks. Is there someone else that should be considered? Let me know in the comments.
